comanmn rnonoemrr Application meanu e so,

This invention relates to a combined phonograph and radio apparatus which may beenc-losed in a cabinet of the type shown in the application of Martin Nystrom, Serial No. 713,128, filed May 14, 1924, or in any other suitable cabinet. p

The object of my invention is to provide a,

combined phonograph and radio receiving set, both of which make use of the same amplifying horn, selectively. r I 4 More specifically the object of my invention is to provide a portion of the neck of an amplifying horn which is adapted to'be brought into operative relationship with either the tone-arm of a phonograph or the loud speaker of a radio set, all from the outside of the cabinet.

In the accompanyin drawings forming a; selected embodiment o my invention,

Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a portion of the cabinet containing my invention. p 4

Fig. 2 is a vertical section through Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3- --3 of Fig. 2, and J Fi 4 is a section on't-he line 44 of Fig. 2.

Re erring now to the drawings, l'designates a cabinet in which is enclosed aphonograph" having the tone-arm 2,, turn-table. 3, r

'reproducer 4 and ampli' 'ng horn 5.

containedin the cabinet is a radio receiv' set indicated at 6 and havin a loud speaker to which is connected a tubu ar neck 81 A motor-board- 9 is provided with an open- 7 ing 9 which registers with the tone-arm2 and-with the upper end of a neck IOwhich. is connected at its lower end with a block 10' v in which the small end of the ampllifyin horn passage from the tone-arm to his entered. A portion 11 of t e nee made integral w th the loud-s eake'r neck8 and this one piece element esignated 11 generally in Figs. 2 and 4 is provided-with guides 12 which slide in (guideways 13 on the neck. An operating ro' 14 is connected to this one iece element 11 and itextends thrcugh't e wall 15 of the cabinet and is pro-' vided at its outer end with a handle 16 whereby the one piece element may be moved laterally in the guideways to connect the amplifying horn operatively' to the phonograph or to the radio receiving set,'as desired. p

Referring to Fig.4, it will beseen that the element 11 has a passa eway 17 registering with the tone-arm and--f%rmin a continuous in mp r s amlplifyi'ng horn.

I provide means for limiting t e ,move-.

ment of the pneiiece element 11 so that at the extremities 0 its movement it will be in such positions that the passageways 17 and18 res ectively. will come into 'exact registry 'wit i the amplifying horn. This means .18 exemplified bya pin 19 set in one of the ve described means will tions where it is in operative connection with eithe -the phonograph or the radio-receiving set, audit also permits intermediate adjust ments wher'eb the tone of the re reduction maybe varie either when the p onograph or the radio receiving set isin use, by cutting I mm the foregoiiig I seen thatI have prov ded a combined phonograph and radio receivin set using a common amplifying horn, toget or with means for readily connecting said horn operatively'to either the phonograph or the radio receivingv set.

am aware that changes in the form, conarts may be vention and I reserve the right to make all.

such changes as fairly fall the scope of the following claims:- I I-claim-: 1. In a device-of the character described, a phonograph, a radioloud speaker an. am hfying horn aneck between ampliying horn and said loud speaker and phonogra h, guideways formed .mteg'ral'with' said. nee an element having guides fixed thereon and adapted to slide in said .guideways, said geways, each passagewa ted to register with thehorn and one nection between said horn and said phonograph, and the other between said horn and sai loud er.
